   I'm just glad I'm not paranoid.   Anyway, I don't think I am.

 

We checked.  You aren't.

It's been fun.  But it isn't much fun anymore.   Signing off for now.

Well, you're not paranoid if they're really trying to get you.

If you want to see paranoid, I'll send you a link to a guy in NH who's convinced that government is corrupt (well, he might have a point there...) and that "they" are out to get him.  Never mind he's had legal problems in a number of venues...

The U.N. becoming world government; that’s a conspiracy theory alright.  It almost ranks up there with EHH being hired for a secret inside plot to plunder the wealth of CSX.  Now there is a real tin foil hat conspiracy theory if I have ever heard one!

Everyone piling on Norm. Don't listen to them Norm. 

Your President should give the UN six months notice to vacate the building because the USA is withdrawing its membership. It's nothing more than a band of anti-Semitic dictators and despots living a hypocritical hedonistic lifestyle in NYC while their people can eat cake.

They can set up shop in Belgium or some thing like that. 

I believe that they are down to 2 agencies that actually do any good for mankind and they do not need the UN to continue on. 

Then turn it into Trump condos.

Hey Miningman. "Criticizing" or "pointing out the flaws in his argument" or saying "that just doesn't make sense" is not "piling on."

Hey Norm. Don't stop listening. I'm still rooting for you to learn something and move (even just a weentsy bit) toward an attitude that is less "USA + capitalism = coal" and more "we're in this together. We want a world of healthy humans. Heck, we just want a world we can pass on to succeeding generations."

A humane attitude, in other words. You can do it.

Perhaps they were busy over the weekend?
